Smoking

Smoking Information & Helpful Links on Quitting

Smoking is the #1 cause of preventable death in the U.S., causing over 393,000 deaths per year. Secondhand smoke is a serious health hazard for people of all ages, and is estimated to cause close to 50,000 deaths each year. Marijuana smoke contains a greater amount of carcinogens than tobacco smoke.

Smoking can cause many diseases, including lung cancer, mouth cancers and heart disease. It can also cause a cough that won't go away, and it may make it hard for you to breathe.

It sounds easy to "Just say no" to drugs, alcohol and tobacco, but it may not be so simple. Don't allow anyone or anything to convince you that it's okay to smoke.
